Keyless Locking and Unlocking

Locking and unlocking Model S is convenient.

Although you must be carrying a valid key,

there is no need to use it. Model S has sensors

that can recognize the presence of a key

within a range of approximately three feet

(one meter). So you can keep your key in your

pocket or purse and Model S detects it.

When you walk up to Model S carrying your

key, doors automatically unlock. If a door

handle is retracted, press it and it extends. If

the Auto-Present Handles setting is turned on

(see Using Exterior Door Handles on page

6), you do not need to touch the door

handle. Instead, door handles extends

automatically as you approach Model S. To

open the rear trunk, press the switch located

under the trunk’s exterior handle.

Note: You can choose whether you want all

doors, or just the driver's door, to unlock when

you approach Model S carrying your key (see

Door Unlock Mode on page 7).

When carrying your key with you, you can also

open the rear trunk without having to use the

key. Simply press the switch located under the

trunk’s exterior handle. Door Unlock Mode

(see Door Unlock Mode on page 7) must

be set to All.

Model S also locks automatically. If you set

Walk-Away Door Lock to ON, Model S locks

when you walk away carrying your key with

you (see Walk-away Locking on page 7).

While sitting inside Model S, you can also lock

and unlock the vehicle by touching the icon on

the touchscreen's status bar or using the

Controls screen.

Note: Depending on date of manufacture and

options selected at time of purchase, some

Model S vehicles are not equipped with the

automatic locking and unlocking feature.

Using the Key

To quickly familiarize yourself with the key,

think of the key as a miniature version of

Model S, with the Tesla badge representing

the front. The key has three buttons that feel

like softer areas on the surface.

1. Trunk

• Double-click to open the rear trunk.

• If equipped with a powered liftgate,

double-click to close the rear trunk.

You can also single-click to stop the

liftgate when it is moving.

• Hold the button down for one to two

seconds to open the charge port door.

2. Lock/Unlock All

• Double-click to unlock Model S.

Hazard warning lights

ﬂash twice and

door handles extend.

Note: If the Door Unlock Mode is set

to Driver, double-clicking unlocks only

the driver's door and you will need to

double-click again to unlock all doors

and trunks. If set to All, the

ﬁrst

double-click unlocks all doors and

trunks. Use the touchscreen to change

this setting (touch Controls >

Settings > Vehicle > Door Unlock

Mode).

• Single-click to lock doors and trunks

(all doors and trunks must be closed).

Hazard warning lights

ﬂash once and

door handles retract.

3. Front trunk (also called the "frunk")

• Double-click to open the front trunk.

You do not need to point the key at Model S,

but you must be within operating range

(which varies depending on the strength of

the key’s battery).
